London's eye: Incredible footage captured after drone user broke all the rules

Should the cameraman have done it?

SEE PICADILLY CIRCUS, TRAFALGAR Square and Buckingham Palace like you’ve never seen them before.

A drone user seemingly broke every rule in the book to capture these great shots of London city, with another YouTube user uploading the video yesterday.

However, not everyone is happy with the output. Many drone users have accused the flyer of giving them a bad name by flouting the rules so blatantly, according to an article in the Evening Standard.

Filmmakers have been prosecuted in the UK for offences under the Air Navigation Order 2009.

Was it worth the risk?

    Some wages are increasing. Public service increments are still payed even though we are a bankrupt state.

    But the ultimate “cost” in the long run will be a radical reduction in the quality of lives of those struggling and swamped with bills. The real cost will be huge stress and worry about how to make ends meet.

    It’s because our welfare and minimum wage are too high that inflation is up. It’s insane. If you want cost of living to fall they have to come down. Not popular, but an unfortunate truth.

    The sum of life in Ireland. Higher taxes + Lower Wages + Government Levies + Universal Social Charge + Negative Equity + Bank Bailouts + Mortgage Interest + Expensive Petrol + Energy Prices + Cost of Living = 0 left to spend in the local economy such as food, clothing and general day to day / recreational expenses.

    Ah sur it doesn’t matter it’s only the citizens of iredland who have to suffer, because politicians get their petrol paid for by us anyway through their “expenses”. What a flamin joke. The fools in government now will have us back in the times of the famine by 2016 because all we,ll be living off of is bread nd butter cos that’s all we,ll be able to afford, while the “leaders” get fed with golden spoons.

    There,s a lot more Irish citizens in Ireland than there is in the dail. These muppets need to go!!!
